Ademola Lookman’s late goal secured a 2-1 victory for Atalanta against AC Milan, sending them to the top of Serie A. Despite facing tough defending from Emerson Royal and Yunus Musah, Lookman scored his eighth league goal of the season, heading in a corner in the 87th minute.
It was not Lookman’s best performance as Emerson Royal strongly marshaled him, though referee Federico La Penna allowed a lot to go, but Lookman was alive to a late corner, sneaking around the back to head past Mike Maignan, in goal for AC Milan.
It was a ninth consecutive league victory for the Bergamo-based side as they try to get better after their UEFA Europa League victory last season.
